The crew has youth leaders serving as president, vice president, secretary, and treasurer who are leading the activities of the crew. Crew officers hold regular meetings and receive training.

Advisor and Associates have completed position-specific training or, if new, will complete within three months of joining. Two committee members have completed Crew Committee Training. At least one person has completed Wood Badge Training during their Scouting tenure. Scoring the crew's performance: To determine the crew's performance level, you will use the above information to determine the points earned for each of the 9 criteria and then add those individual point scores to determine a composite score.
